Show your pride in opera, art, and Columbus at this annual performance and benefit for Stonewall Columbus.

Start your Pride weekend celebration at this year’s Drinks + Drag, an Opera Columbus and Wexner Center drag party! Where the queens sing live—they are classically trained vocalists and musicians after all—and a portion of all ticket sales goes to support the valuable services and programs at Stonewall Columbus, the only LGBTQIA+ community center in Central Ohio.

Join us in the Wex Performance Space where you will find cabaret tables, a cash bar, and hors d’oeuvres to start your night out right! Treat yourself to the evening's specialty cocktail, the Blue Lagoon, and raffle tickets for your chance to win some amazing prizes. Come early and stop in the Wex's galleries (open until 8 PM) to view the current exhibitions from artists Nancy Holt and Maria Hupfield.
